Although dictated before Saint Valentine's Day, most of you will receive this too late to consider it a cosmic Valentine, but I AM certain that you will know it comes to you from my heart with all the love which a cosmic Valentine ought to embody, conveying beyond all words my own God-feeling of the power of the violet ray to set and keep your worlds free from all that disturbs mankind - and abundantly give you that overcoming power which every Ascended Master wields for and on behalf of the common weal!
Among the heritage of the free world are treasures of document, of precious lives and of love's labors. To see that these never become love's labors lost, people must learn with greater diligence the safeguarding of the gifts and privileges of Life and protection of their own feelings of God-happiness. A Constitution, a Magna Charta, a Bill of human Rights, a doorway through which our words come (many of which are a heritage and an actual windfall from the love of someone else's service and labors in God's name) is only of value as long as esteemed valuable by a world of free men willing to defend if necessary these hard-won blessings for themselves and their posterity.
The lives of George Washington (now the Ascended Master Godfre) and Abraham Lincoln do sublimely remind all men of the need to live for a principle regardless of human opinions or criticisms. The power of one man for good is best illustrated and measured in the thirty-three short years of beloved Jesus' earthly ministry. Today each reader, because of this heritage of the past, has a better opportunity to do "greater things than I do"!
Safeguarding all these treasures of the immortal Spirit is to perpetuate God's love among men. It further insures that love's labors shall themselves expand! In fact, each year's loving service increases the size of my permanent cosmic Valentine! Each year this living symbol of cosmic freedom thus becomes more magnificent! As a giant purple fiery heart from the Great Central Sun, it enfolds all who will plunge without fear into its fiery depths so saturated with my own heart flames of God- freedom and transmutation. Therein all shall find release - the opportunity to begin again a greater service for God - a real "labor of love!"
However, people should understand that self-justification is one of the greatest dangers in the world; it blinds men to truth and the beauty of clear vision. Humility is completely otherwise; it seeks not so much the power of condemning judgment or the pastime of listening to the vain words of humans who "talk" for want of something better to do, but rather the drawing forth of the real beauty of love as a cosmic bond of truth far above all human personality, which lies even within the reach of a babe who in faith reaches out to touch it! Religious history, as so many know, has a long record of infamy spread among its virtues. The godly, who in physical appearance often looked no differently than their opposites, have often been shamefully abused, stoned, vilified, misunderstood, spat upon and hated. Yet in most every case, their revilers felt self-justified in so doing!
The real meaning of love, then, is best understood by those who take a real interest in expanding God's kingdom upon earth by spreading kindness, good thoughts and constructive ideas. These people are too busy with God's Work to listen to grumblings, false statements, idle gossip or questioning doubts about truly insignificant matters. In their dedication to God, they outpicture a nobler state like unto every Ascended Master Whose burning Love, like My own, speaks out for Freedom, Truth, Humility and Beauty, thus drawing into and instilling into every lifestream that is pliable, those qualities which all should emulate and love. We are divine men, living still within easy reach of your hearts!
I AM the expanding power of the violet flame
